As far as I understood the lore, neinzul are insects or insects-like (despite not looking so) that live in big space-ship hves and can also live/survive in space which kind of is needed considering they have a very small life span. Otherwise space flight would be never possible for them.

Zentih seemed always like Cyborgs to me. Because of their technological advancements they could fuse themself with powerful technology, allowing to create themself massive bodies. That may be wrong but their (initial) lore and their artworks indicated this.

Spire are kind of mysterious, they sem to be... space... rocks? That's what the journal pages said. Unfortunately the artworks go in different directions. In AI War they have a crystal-like appearance and that's what I've always imagined, they are living crystals. The SBR artworks let them appear like shells however, so i don't know anymore what to believe.

They're living 3D printers. The giant armored forms, the weapons, the engines, everything is produced by their bodies. There's no fusion: it's GROWTH.

The Spire are rocks, yeah. Crystals really. They are actually closer to your idea about cyborgs, except the augments they fuse with are grown from crystal.

The spire largely tend to be unfortunate navel-gazers... or fortunate, depending on if you think their power might be used against you. But all that might tends to go to waste unless there's some sort of external stimulus present. They spend a lot of time in thought.

Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games? Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

regardless if stars ever gets released or not I dearly hope that the lore in it either gets put in enougher game or just released to here for us nerds to look at.if I remember correctly Chris said at one point that the lore was going to link to tlf(and other games) in weird and wonderful ways and the idea of never getting to see this makes me very sad.

I completely agree. It will see the light of day eventually in some form, don't worry!

Real talk though, if only from a writer's perspective I'm kinda glad SBR was pushed back. Not the way it happened, but it's given me a chance to actually think things through. AI War 2's going to be the better for it.
